David -
My experiences with raw materials include slaughter, skinning, peocessing dozen of hides of various types, using a variety of processes - both modern and historic.
As for textiles - I have collected/processed/spun/dyed and woven a variety of fibers - animal and vegetable - to the tune of several hundred meters of textiles.
If you are going to be putting grunts and their gear under cover in the ancient world - the least expensive way is sub pellibus - under skins.
